Hello. My problem is that I can’t reach gigabit speed via samba inside Windows 2003 guest on Centos 5.5. Max speed is about 100Mb/s.
Tried with e1000 and virtio drivers. Windows NIC shows that it’s speed is 1000Mb/s.
KVM version is 83. Guest is launching via virt-manager:
/var/log/libvirt/qemu/:
LC_ALL=C PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin HOME=/ /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -S -M rhel5.4.0 -m 10000 -smp 8 -name windows2003r2 -uuid 6b18133c-3a3a-3451-c4ed-3011ac82cdb0 -no-kvm-pit-reinjection -monitor pty -pidfile /var/run/libvirt/qemu//windows2003r2.pid -localtime -boot c -drive file=/vm/windows2003r2sp2.img,if=ide,index=0,boot=on,cache=none -drive file=/share/virtio-win-1.0.0-45801.iso,if=ide,media=cdrom,index=2 -net nic,macaddr=54:52:00:77:16:78,vlan=0,model=e1000 -net tap,fd=15,script=,vlan=0,ifname=vnet1 -serial pty -parallel none -usb -usbdevice tablet -vnc 127.0.0.1:0 -k en-us
Here is output from brctl show and ethtool

Also I noticed that another interface is created when I launch guest.And it’s speed is only 10Mb/s.

So. Where can be mistake?
